UNDE RGROUND PARKTNG WITHAPPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL TO ENCLOSE
SECURITY GATE, 15OO S HERMAN AVENUE
City Planner reviewed her memorandum of ,Iu1y 1l in which she recommended
council hold public hearing anal make a determination on this appeal.
she noted the lot is located at the corner of El- Camino and Sherman;
there are onty three parking places available on Sherman and no parking
on El Camino. The permit was approved with a security gate in the middle
of the underground garage with 16 of the required parking spaces located
outside of the gate in order to provide some guest parking. No\,n the ap-
plicant is requesting an amendment to his condo permit in order to move
the security gate from the middle to the front of the garage. He pro-
poses that guests would use a telephone at entrance in order to gain
entrance to the qarage. Planning Commission feared that guests would
block the driveway to use the phone and, if no one were home, would back
into the street causing further congestion and danger to the narrow
street.
Vice Mayor Amstrup opened the public hearing.
Speaking in favor of the proposed plans was John Rafeigh, Taldan Invest-
ment. He stated the original plans created a dangerous condition with
the garage area open to loitering and vandalism. They are concerned about
security, They felt there was adequate parking and it would be accessible
with the phone system and security gate as proposed.
Council discussed its concerns with Mr. Raleigh at length, wondering why
the company did not make this part of its original- plan. This company
has appeared before council before to change pJ.ans, it should have known
this would happen. Council noted it is eas.ier to chanqe plans on paper
than to change after the building is built; it did not want a group of
tenants coming in at a later date complaining about security; it was
concerned about guests btocking driveway and backing into street.
Speaking against the proposal was Bob Costa, 1265 Balboa. He
cerned that moving the gate would cause more parking probl-ems
streeti they were given a permit for one thing and it should
